It was FUCKING STAGED
THEY WERE PAID TO POSE FOR A PRESS PHOTO
Is that actually true? I've heard similar claims as the reason why they're banning it now, and it made me a little uncomfortable.
From everything I've heard, it was actually spontaneous, and she didn't know who he was. That being said, she explicitly said she didn't mind and it was just a crazy celebratory moment.
Granted my source is a history textbook I read 20 years ago and don't even remember the title of.
Was just a throwaway line of "despite appearances the photographer asked the two to participate in a photo op"
